proof of overweight for 5 yrs

[shirley36 14]

i was wondering should i try to get my proof before my first dr.app. or wait?

My surgeons office got proof of me being overweight themselves by requesting my medical records from my primary doctor. They will probably ask you for your primary doctor's information to contact that office for your records. I didn't do any running around to get them any information, they did everything themselves. Some doctors charge you for a copy of your records. I'd wait to see what your surgeon says.

My surgeon only needed what diets I have tried and failed. I have Blue cross/Blue Shield of NJ. I know each insurance company is different. So I woulld at least give them a list of diets you have done and then take it from there. LBT Addict is right some doctors will charge you if you ask for your records but if another doctor requests them they don't charge.
